Hi Sue,
I know the flea is the intermittant host for tapeworms, flea ridden
chipmunks were the plague of my life when I had cats and no the consumption
of fur didn't help control the tapeworm. The cats caught the fleas,
obviously the kill was fresh and then passed them onto the dogs, dogs
nibbled the itchy fleas ingested them and bingo tapeworm! Kitties have gone
to heaven, fitted carpets were removed and Pergo put down and touch wood no
more fleas and no more tape. Judy Kelly used to breed field trial beagles
and they were wormed for tape regularly because of consuming the odd flea
infested bunnie. When working the fields they'd eat whatever they found
that was tasty even if a bit hung and yep they got tapeworm. I wouldn't
rely on fur and feather with fresh or rotten flesh.
Oh and by the by many birds have lice so that's another nice thing to have
around! Now the crow !!

Rose

Actually tapeworms are from fleas and fleas usually won't stay on a
"cold" body. I've been told that the fur or feathers ingested along with
fresh flesh are natures wormers..Does anyone know if this is true or
not?

Yes, the hair from an animal does act as a natural wormer.

While living in Alaska, I would get a road kill carcas of a moose. We would 
let the dogs eat the entire leg, hair, hoof and all. I know, it sounds 
gross.

I think I would be concerned with why the chipmunk died, was it diseased?

Feed Fulton a smaller dinner -- about 1 chipmunk smaller.
